Thanks for your review! We agree that our greatest strength (17,000 employees) can also make it difficult to feel connected. We've recently deployed some great internal resources, like Yammer and High 5, along with common interest programs (Arrow Young Professionals) to help our employees feel more connected. If you have an idea for other things we can implement, we'd love to hear it!
